Suffixtication. The wonderful thing about isms Is isms are wonderful prisms With hops and with twists They try to become ists To put lies in the place of truisms The wonderful thing about ists Is that ists also have wonderful twists With any dislike This suffix can strike Much harder than men with two fists. The terrible thing about lies Is lies are terrible things With out disbelief They cause untold grief And leave us with unanswered whys. The terrible thing about ics Is ics are terrible things When blended with evil And prefixed with people They result in the word ‘politics’. Robin Horsfall 2024
